Kathy, this is perfect. Just made your chicken a la king last night and have leftover chicken, soup, and broth. Since there's just the two of us, I'll cut this recipe in half and problem solved -- leftovers used up. Thanks.

I have cut up leftover turkey in the freezer. This sounds like another great way to use it up. I like the addition of the sauteed vegetables. My mom used to make a rice dish with bits of carrots in it and they added so much flavor.

Beker's daughter....you asked about spices. I find that in recipes that have canned soups they don't need any extra salt, but you certainly could add salt and pepper too suit your taste. You could also add some parsley to casseroles like this one. Happy baking!

Great idea. This is a simple design for a casserole. One way I have incorporated more flavor for my rice and noodle dishes is to cook the rice and noodles in spices and chicken stock by itself. Then the already flavored rice and noodles provide more taste to the dish.
